Building an Effective Security Platform with Fortinet

There’s a lot of well-earned criticism of security platforms: They’re a tangle of acquired products, packaged so you pay for more than you need, sucking you into a single vendor. Today John Maddison from Fortinet explains why their security platform is different. Fortinet has one unified fabric with a single operating system, agent, and management console. It offers flexible plans and pricing. And it’s built to play well with others. John also touches on some of the new features in Fortinet’s latest release. | LISTEN NOW

Easy as Pi: The WLAN Pro’s Swiss Army Knife

In 2016, a handful of wireless engineers got together and decided to create the portable tool they all wish existed. Thus the WLAN Pi was born. Jerry Olla, Nick Turner, and Jiri Brejcha join the show today to talk about the evolution of the open source WLAN Pi and its current capabilities. The latest generation R4 and M4 models are often used by pros to quickly scan, test, monitor, and troubleshoot any wireless (or wired) network. But in the words of Nick, “what can’t it do?” With tools and a “cookbook” easily available online, even the most Linux-adverse techie can hit the ground running. | LISTEN NOW

The Duality of Enterprise AI

AI has been around forever; AI is emergent. AI is just data analytics; AI hallucinates. AI doesn’t have many business use cases; AI is already being used by your employees. Today, Greg and Johna from the Heavy Strategy podcast join Day Two Cloud to give their takes on enterprise AI. Johna brings with her the latest research on how businesses are using AI, plus her expertise as a strategy consultant. Greg brings with him the latest information on AI chipset production, plus skepticism honed by years of analyzing dubious market forces. And, of course, we get their takes on AI in the cloud. | LISTEN NOW

A Progress Report on the Federal Government’s IPv6 Migration

When you chair the IPv6 Task Force for the United States Federal Government, you get a pretty good view of IPv6 implementation across the world and in every aspect of American society. That’s why we have Rob Sears on the show today. He gives us his perspective as chair of the task force charged with helping every US federal agency completely migrate to IPv6-only. That’s satellites to library subscriptions, remote sensors to giant data centers. He also lets folks know how they can get involved in the undertaking. | LISTEN NOW
